HAL Case
Large Panel Line: produces unpopulated printed circuit boards
Line runs 24 hr/day (but 19.5 hrs of productive time)
Recent Performance:• throughput = 1,400 panels per day (71.8 panels/hr)
• WIP = 47,600 panels
• CT = 34 days (663 hr at 19.5 hr/day)
• customer service = 75% on-time delivery
What data do we need to decide?
Is HAL lean?

HAL - Large Panel Line Processes
Lamination (Cores): press copper and prepreg into core blanks
Machining: trim cores to size
Internal Circuitize: etch circuitry into copper of cores
Optical Test and Repair (Internal): scan panels optically for defects
Lamination (Composites): press cores into multiple layer boards
External Circuitize: etch circuitry into copper on outside of composites
Optical Test and Repair (External): scan composites optically for defects
Drilling: holes to provide connections between layers
Copper Plate: deposits copper in holes to establish connections
Procoat: apply plastic coating to protect boards
Sizing: cut panels into boards
End of Line Test: final electrical test

HAL Case - Science?
External Benchmarking• but other plants may not be comparable
Internal Benchmarking• capacity data: what is utilization?
• but this ignores WIP effects
Need relationships between WIP, TH, CT, service!

Definitions
Workstations: a collection of one or more identical machines.
Parts: a component, sub-assembly, or an assembly that moves through the workstations.
End Items: parts sold directly to customers; relationship to constituent parts defined in bill of material.
Consumables: bits, chemicals, gasses, etc., used in process but do not become part of the product that is sold.
Routing: sequence of workstations needed to make a part.
Order: request from customer.
Job: transfer quantity on the line.

Definitions (cont.)
Throughput (TH): for a line, throughput is the average quantity of good (non-defective) parts produced per unit time.
Work in Process (WIP): inventory between the start and endpoints of a product routing.
Raw Material Inventory (RMI): material stocked at beginning of routing.
Crib and Finished Goods Inventory (FGI): crib inventory is material held in a stockpoint at the end of a routing; FGI is material held in inventory prior to shipping to the customer.
Cycle Time (CT): time between release of the job at the beginning of the routing until it reaches an inventory point at the end of the routing.

Factory Physics
Definition: A manufacturing system is a goal-oriented network of processes through which parts flow.
Structure: Plant is made up of routings (lines), which in turn are made up of processes.
Focus: Factory Physics is concerned with the network and flows at the routing (line) level.

Parameters
Descriptors of a Line:
1) Bottleneck Rate (rb): Rate (parts/unit time or jobs/unit time) of the process center having the highest long-term utilization.
2) Raw Process Time (T0): Sum of the long-term average process times of each station in the line.
3) Congestion Coefficient (): A unitless measure of congestion.• Zero variability case, = 0.• “Practical worst case,” = 1.• “Worst possible case,” = W0.
Note: we won’t use quantitatively,but point it out to recognize that lineswith same rb and T0 can behave verydifferently.

Parameters (cont.)
Relationship:
Critical WIP (W0): WIP level in which a line having no
congestion would achieve maximum throughput (i.e., rb) with minimum cycle time (i.e., T0).
W0 = rb T0

Worst Case
Observation: The Best Case yields the minimum cycle time and maximum throughput for each WIP level.
Question: What conditions would cause the maximum cycle time and minimum throughput?
Experiment:• set average process times same as Best Case (so rb and T0 unchanged, so
we are examining the same line)• follow a marked job through system• imagine marked job experiences maximum queueing (this would occur
if the first job took all the time and the other jobs took no time)

Worst Case Performance
Worst Case Law: The worst case cycle time for a given WIP level, w, is given by,
CTworst = w T0
The worst case throughput for a given WIP level, w, is given by,
THworst = 1 / T0
Randomness? None - perfectly predictable, but bad!

27
Practical Worst Case
Observation: There is a BIG GAP between the Best Case and Worst Case performance. Both cases are highly unlikely in practice.
Question: Can we find an intermediate case that:• divides “good” and “bad” lines, and• is computable?
Experiment: consider a line with a given rb and T0 and:• single machine stations• balanced lines• variability such that all WIP configurations (states) are equally
likely(worst case) … if actual system performs worse than this improvements are certainly possible

Practical Worst Case
Let w = jobs in system, N = no. stations in line, and t = process time at all stations:CT(single): suppose you are a job, upon arrival to a machine the time it takes to get through will be the time necessary to process the other (w-1) jobs plus the time to process your job.
So,

Practical Worst Case Performance
Practical Worst Case Definition: The practical worst case (PWC) cycle time for a given WIP level, w, is given by,
The PWC throughput for a given WIP level, w, is given by,
where W0 is the critical WIP.

Labor Constrained Systems
Motivation: performance of some systems are limited by labor or a combination of labor and equipment.
Full Flexibility with Workers Tied to Jobs:• WIP limited by number of workers (n)
• capacity of line is n/T0
• Best case achieves capacity and has workers in “zones”
• ample capacity case also achieves full capacity with “pick and run” policy
